I met up with my primary 6C classmates today at Shokudo. To be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect. Gotta admit, I was a tad apprehensive. Would everyone be completely different? Would we still click? Would there be awkward silences?

When I arrived (late because I was running errands earlier), everyone was milling around thinking of food to order, ordering their food, or waiting for their food. When we sat, I plonked myself down and ended up in between Denys and Lucas.
That's everyone above squeezing into the shot. Denys, behind me, is NOT that tall. So in order for him not be blocked by my big head and my big hair (read: the fro), he raised himself up using sheer butt and back power in order to be in the photo.

And so it all began.

The bunch of us 20 folks were seated at an uber long table, and naturally one end of the table couldn't hear the other end of the table for shit. Neither could we have, because we were wrapped up in conversation at our own respective sides of the table, too. Some people left early, and the rest of us scooted closer together.

The bunch of us took so many photos and talked so much shit it was amazing! All of us were still the same, albeit a tad more mature. (Well we'd have to be, considering we were all last together at age 12) Most were still studying, and a very few were already working. They were mostly fresh grads.

Afterwards, when Shokudo was about to close, we moved over to Hyatt's lounge. A few more people split the scene, leaving us with a smaller group. And so we just chatted and joked and talked more shit.. I seriously had so much fun tonight.

As much as I love old friends, meeting REALLY old friends like these is comparable to meeting new friends, just rehashed. It's like.. rehashed new friends. Or rehashed old friends. Whatever it is.

I hope to see the bunch of them again. It was really really lovely seeing everyone. And considering how I don't use the word 'lovely' EVER, it must REALLY truly have been lovely seeing everyone again after ten million donkey ass years.

On the bright side, I'll be seeing Lucas and Denys really soon - at least in the first few weeks of January, because Lucas will be flying over to Holland ("hey man, get me some weed and milk!") for a job exchange in late January. Yay more hangin' outs!

The boys below look so dashing it's like a studio shot. I'm just a proud mama bear! As.. you can.. tell.. in the photo..
